Fostering creativity through
inclusivity, and safety.

We believe that by providing a space catered to the unique needs of women and gender non-conforming musicians, we can create a more inclusive and diverse music industry that reflects the unique voices that have always contributed to its varied sound.

We create and host camps, workshops, mixers, panels, and other music industry-related events and offerings to further build community and create opportunities for women and gender non-conforming folks in music.

Hyperwknd is a 501c3 non-profit organization, music community, and bi-monthly songwriting camp for women and gender non-conforming music producers, songwriters & artists.

An Indisputable and Desperate Need

There are two current studies on the percentage of women working in music. The studies are based off the top 100 billboard charting songs of the year and the top 50 streaming songs of the year in each genre. There are no current studies that encompass indie writers/producers, signed writers/producers, and/or student writers/producers, trans/nonbinary writers/producers etc.

An Indisputable and Desperate Need

There are two current studies on the percentage of women working in music. The studies are based off the top 100 billboard charting songs of the year and the top 50 streaming songs of the year in each genre. There are no current studies that encompass indie writers/producers, signed writers/producers, and/or student writers/producers, trans/nonbinary writers/producers etc.

The first study concluded that 2 percent of the music producers and 12.8% of the songwriters in the Billboard Top 100 songs are women. The second results ranged from 0-17 percent.

Almost half of women in the music industry report being sexually harassed at work, and not feeling safe in creative music industry work or educational spaces.

Professional opportunities for music producers and songwriters are primarily connection, social, and network-based.
